This is an old movie..early nineties....You would have to see this to know what I am talking about...I've seen the Pacino character described as Four, a Nine, an Eight, a Six...He was a Four with a strong connection to One...

Then when you add in all of the questioning and skepticism, you appear 6ish. Plus there is a direct line between 6 and 9 and I've heard of many people who say they just don't fit one point on the enneagram, rather, they are on one of those direct lines between points. I describe myself to others as a Oneish 4. But it changes all of the time! Keep an open mind and maybe keep a journal detailing your basic motivations -- lately I've been seeing how big my 3-wing is, so much so that it sometimes takes over and I test as a core 3. So, you see, it's all your own unique composition, no one else has exactly the same mixture of core/wing/lines of stress and security influences. (Not to mention the variants but that just gets TOO confusing.)
